[QUOTE=EYEBURN;2654623]The first boat i owned was a switzer, kinda cool to see this one.
My first boat was a Switzer also. A shooting star with an inline 6 black max. It was a beast!

Thanks for the compiment, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out that there never was a Mercury inline 6..."Black Max".
The Black Max was the first Mercury V-6.
Don't feel bad. A "famed" boating writer..... who shall remain nameless...... (Initials "BB").... has droned on and on about his early boating "experiences" with his "in line 6 Black Max "tower of power".
It didn't exist for him either.

Rich,I don't know if Bob Switzer even gets on line,but someone needs to make sure he and Dave see this thread. This is one of the best tributes to their genius and their designs of nearly 50 years ago.
